How
to Make Roll-Over Buttons

PhotoShop Tip
Ok, here we go. There's more than one page for this Tutorial, as there are 13
Screen Shots to illustrate the steps.
( I get carried away possibly, but I'd rather not leave any room for doubt)
This Tutorial will show you how to use Layers, also.
Don't worry, it's really not that difficult. I mean, if I can
do it, I'm sure you can, too.
Step One: Open
PhotoShop. (I
would imagine the steps are similar for PaintShop Pro, if you'd like to try)
Click on View/Layers to open the Layers palette, if it's not already
open.
Now click on File/New and make it the size of the button you'd like
to make. (You can always resize it later.)
Step Two: Choose
a color for the outside border of your button, click on the Paint Bucket
and fill the area.
Step Three: Create a New Layer for the inner color of your Button.
You will see that the new Layer 2 is Highlighted - pay
attention to this, as the highlighted area is the active Layer. (Tip: Press Control/+
to enlarge the view area)
Step Four: Select the Rectangle Tool while on Layer 2, and draw
an inner rectangle inside the border, making sure the space is equal
on all four sides.
